Nigeria's President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a major change in the nation's police leadership. This happened after the previous Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, resigned.
The Presidency announced the development on February 24, 2026. Assistant Inspector-General Tunji Disu has been appointed as the Acting Inspector-General.
Officials stated this change is meant to reset the police force. It follows months of controversy surrounding the leadership.
The exact reasons for Inspector-General Egbetokun's resignation were not immediately clear. However, the report mentioned a "River Park case" and "financial scandal" trailing his exit.
This leadership change signifies an effort to address concerns within the Nigeria Police Force.
Tunji Disu's appointment as Acting Inspector-General took effect immediately upon the announcement.
